Harvard Admissions- Letter of reccomendations

Applying to College
1

<p>Hey CCers!</p>

<p>I wanted to know how effective it would be for Harvard Undergraduate Admssisions (or any Ivy really) if I could get a letter of recommendation from Harvard's Dean from the Business Graduate School, Dr. Nitin Nohria? </p>

<p>Also, I'm going to be applying to Columbia. So, if my microbiology summer internship professor was an alumni at Columbia, would it be beneficial if I ask him for a letter of recommendation?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>It’s not about who writes you the letter but what it contains. Remember: the letter is about you – not your connections. Has Dr Nohria overseen you personally? Yes? Then great. 100% fantastic, in fact.</p>

<p>If not – then you’re foolish to consider asking him</p>

<p>Then ask yourself: “Who can write this for me?”</p>
